Minnesota Grown Seed Potatoes 

Recent Sweepstakes Winner at Minn. State Fair. 
“WHITE GOLD” 
EXTRA EARLY WHITE POTATO 
Ten days to two weeks earlier to market 
frequently means the difference between profit 
and loss. You can get White Golds on the 
market two weeks earlier than Cobblers, Tri- 
umphs or Early Ohios. 
Developed in Itasca County, Minnesota. It 
has the size and shape of the Green Mountain, 
though the eyes are shallow and it is of slight- 
ly netted appearance. The yields compare 
favorably with the late varieties such as Car- 
mans and Rural New Yorkers. The outstanding 
features, however, are its earliness, good size 
and big yields. White Golds will keep in stor- 
age better than many late varieties. The cook- 
ing and baking quality is unsurpassed. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, postpaid to 3rd zone. See

U.S.D.A. CHIPPEWA (Certified) 
Earlier than Katahdin or Green Mountain 
and is especially well adapted for the North- 
west. Yields higher than late varieties like 
Rural New Yorker, Carman, Katahdin or Green 
Mountain. 
Chippewa was compared in 1938 with Cob- 
bler in 12 counties and exceeded Cobbler in 
yield of No. 1 potatoes in all but 2 tests. The 
average difference in yield was 39 bushels. 
Chippewa matures a few days later than Cob- 
bler but yields a consistently higher percentage 
of No. 1 tubers. 
Since it matures ahead of other late varie- 
ties, it will be a most popular storage potato. 
Tubers are smooth, regular in outline, with 
very shallow eyes, excellent cookers and show 
high resistance to mild mosaic. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See 
Blue Figure Price List for larger quantities.

Cut tubers like potatoes, 
Girasol will thrive in any soil and re- 
sponds to liberal feeding, yielding bonn- 
tifully. The foliage becomes so dense, 
that after two cultivations, weeds cannot 
survive. Girasol tubers are relished by 
livestock and poultry. 
The average yield is 10 to 15 tons of 
tubers per acre, with an equal amount of 
silage from the tops. Tubers can be 
left in the ground until the following 
spring, as they are not injured by freezing.
